VIDEO: Two Men Experience The Simulated AGONY OF CHILDBIRTH...But GIVE UP Just After Two Hours

Two
brave male presenters volunteered to experience labour pains for a skit on
their TV show - and found it harder to stomach than they realised.

Dutch
presenting duo Dennis Storm and Valerio Zena were hooked up to
electrodes that replicated the contractions women are forced to undergo - but
the men only lasted two hours before they begged for the electrodes to be taken
off.

The
faux labour was filmed and screened during an episode of the pair's hit TV
show, Proefkonijnen (Guinea Pigs).

But the labour challenge proved too much for the hosts, who writhed in agony as
the electrodes kicked in.

Speaking ahead of the
simulated labour, Storm and Zena revealed they wanted to experience
the pain of childbirth because they'd heard that 'giving birth is the worst
pain there is'.

Strapped
up to the electrodes and with the stunt seconds from starting, Zena asks of a
nurse: 'Do you think the pain will
make us scream?'. Bluntly, she replies: 'Yes, it definitely will.'

And the nurse's prediction
proved entirely accurate as the pair are left doubled up in pain within moments
of the fake contractions kicking in.

Although
they make a brave attempt to laugh and joke their way through the experience,
the misery on their faces gives the game away.

So
bad is the pain, Zena is left
questioning whether he even wants children as his wife would be forced to go
through an experience he describes as 'torture'. Torture or not, Zena and
Storm aren't the first men to volunteer for fake childbirth.

In 2009, Dr Andrew Rochford went through a
similar experience for Australian TV show, What's Good for You.

Two
hours later, Rochford was turning
the air blue as he struggled to deal with the pain, adding afterwards that he
could now 'understand why women swear'.

Storm and Zena are no strangers to painful stunts. In 2011, the pair cooked
and ate each others' flesh, which was shown on live TV.
